"Our physicians bring a great deal of knowledge, skill and compassion to the people of the Fort Bend community," Chris Siebenaler, acting CEO of Methodist Sugar Land, said. "These awards are just one way for us to recognize the incredible work they do."

The six honorees were recognized at Methodist Sugar Land's medical staff meeting in an Oscars-style event. Secret envelopes revealed the winners.

"Methodist Sugar Land Hospital is one of the most physician-friendly hospitals I have worked at," Malep Physician honoree Pham said. "I thank the employees for this recognition and their passion for excellence."

Doctor's Day is on March 30 every year and is a nationally recognized day of celebration for the healing and lifesaving work of America's physicians.
